Century Communities Reviews in Denver, CO

Hard to get a person to spread With when something is needed. And the issue submittal for Is less Than ideal and does not always get a result.

Sales and warranty support was good but as far as quality and workmanship goes, its terrible. Walls are misaligned, interior and exterior painting was terribly done. Word of advice, stay away and go with other builders.

The warranty department is a headache to work with. There is little to no communication between trades, warranty department and homeowner. Three times warranty work has be scheduled and no one shows up or notifies you of any cancellations.

Sales process was good. No issues. The superintendents did not seem to care about quality or schedule. Major issues were still being addressed even on closing day...it was a 9-19 month build from contract to close...there should have been plenty of time to address issues in that time. Still dealing with quality issues. Several warranty items have been easier since closing. The warranty team has been fantastic and responsive.

Through the whole process it seems like everything is rushed through and you end up with/without options you didn’t/did want. We tried to change options a few days after we signed but by then it was “too late.” After you home is built, good luck getting a response back from anyone from the front office of the community. They are not helpful and never respond back to you unless you go to them face-to-face. Beware of the “referral” program. It doesn’t exist unless it is financed into the loan of the people that you referred. Feels like they’re extremely greedy and push you through the door before your ready. ... More

It took me a while to complete this survey, since I was hoping Century Community construction manager will complete all things corrected in our pre-closing pending items for builder to fix in a timely manner, but it's NOT the case. It has been a little bit over 3 months since we moved into to our place and items prior closing haven't all fixed yet and still no feedback from construction manager or sales. Unfortunately Century does not have a hot line or a number where you can complain about the the lack of communication from construction manager. I should it pay closer attention to the feedback before we decided to purchased with this builder. Very disappointed and not at the construction of the house, but of the poor customer service they provide once they deliver the house.... ... More

There are things form my drywall walk through that still haven't been fixed. They refused to give me a floor plan with dimensions and now things are smaller than I expected and my car doesn't fit in the garage. The builder also put a $2MM bond on the HOA that all the residents have to not pay back in their taxes.

The quality of the building materials and install is below standard for a private residence even for a track home. The quality is similar to that of an apartment complex. There are limitations to the combinations of the items you can upgrade. You must stay with what the design team has put together in their design package ideas for your home you are purchasing. The response to issues are good, however; the workmanship for the repairs is not any better than the original workmanship and the trades need to keep coming back to "attempt" the repairs the same things. During the loan process, the down payment amount changed the week before closing and the papers were not ready by the lender who was provided by Century Communities, until the day of the signing. At the time of our final walk through, the house was not completed and not completely cleaned inside or outside. The completion date was moved out 2 months from the original date give at the time of purchase. Many other things to mention, however; I think the general condition and idea of the purchase is relatively clear. ... More

Multiple issues. Century Communities does not handle in timely manner. Workmanship challenging. On

Refused to keep our realtor in the loop. Met no deadlines. Promised that if we signed off on the closing they would fix the issues that evening. Never heard from the builder again.

Hold them accountable. Even though they wont do anything about it. Dont sign anything until they do what they say they would.

Disappointed with the miscommunication of available options i.e. available storage to be purchased and the subsequent dismissal of trying to work something out with after the purchase.

Sales “agents” are not very knowledgeable or serviceable. Certainly not customer focused as they will simply sell the home to another buyer instead of working with purchaser. Sales agents speak about neighboring homeowners to other purchasers and are otherwise unprofessional. Punch lists still incomplete after sale (unsurprisingly, as this seems to be a common issue, but it is surprising how unwilling they are complete lists). Concrete steps and garage floor are concave and hold standing water. Upgrades installed poorly, excuse given was we designed “a complicated house”. Overall a disappointment, and a poor reflection of the company as a whole. Our independent inspector described the home perfectly: “you paid top dollar for grade A work, but received the bare minimum to pass inspection, grade C at best.” I’d advise to purchase your home from a company that cares, and avoid Century. ...

The work on the condo was rushed just to meet quotas. There is a lot of sloppy work. Balcony has not been repainted. No response from project manager when asked when they can fix anything. Overall very bad experience.

My experience with this builder was that I was often told things that were untrue and they were impossibly frustrating to get a hold of. When I agreed to purchase I was told I’d have a fenced in backyard and patio. I ended up with a balcony only. I was told one thing for the downstairs footprint, and reality was different - when I. Asked about it they said they weren’t going to change it to what I was told. They also changed my closing date 3 times after giving me an initial promised date. When I would try to get a hold of them to ask questions, they would not answer unless I physically showed up and caught them in person. The workmanship was fair, not great. I have several items in need of attention from warranty. ... More

We love our home but worry about the quality of construction and the closing process was a nightmare with many items left unfinished.

My new build was extremely delayed (5 months) which might be have been fine on its own if not for the poor communication. I was not given timely updates and was given timelines that were highly unrealistic based on the progress I could see on the house. I would send emails, texts, call and often not hear back for a week which was extremely frustrating as I needed updates in order to figure out my living situation and to work with my lender. They did not take into consideration any of the items identified in my independent inspection. They had me do my “final” walkthrough prior to toilets going in, washer and dryer in, and other things unfinished and I was not given another opportunity to point out things I wanted fixed after that point (i.e. they refused to touch up paint even those workers had been in for over a month after the walkthrough and caused dings). I’m still finding things that I just feel were rushed or not done right which is frustrating for how much I paid for a new home. I would not recommend Century to a friend. ... More

We could not make any changes and were misled on what was included with the home. Additionally the construction manager quit with no notice and left his employees to fix the issues he never addressed. The homes are being built way too fast with sloppy workmanship and poor quality building materials and appliances. Additionally the HOA dues cover snow removal but no one showed...residents had to clear the streets. I love the location but seriously disappointed in the quality.

If you buy one of these homes be prepared to stay on them throughout the build process. We were not able to do that and are in the middle of warranty issues just to bring the house up to acceptable standards let alone the sloppy workmanship in some areas and subpar materials. If you could find another builder I would highly suggest it.

We moved in to Mayfield back in December 2020. Needless to say there were multiple red flags throughout the home building experience. On the day of closing we found out our Hot Water heater was not working, toe kick in the bathroom missing, and the house not cleaned and filthy. Through out the last few months, we have had electrical issues, HVAC issues, and now AC issues. This month the AC was the third major failure of the home. If you are thinking it is a fluke, both Niagra and Newport St homes have electrical issues, water heater issues, and HVAC issues. In fact it is so bad, we cannot even use our microwave. The warranty is also a joke. When you submit a warranty request, they cancel it without actually servicing the home making it look like they are doing the work. There is no actual way to keep track of warranty request to boot, you just fill out the form and pray. If you are thinking that this is a good place to look at. Move on Richmond homes is even a step up from Century Communities. ... More

Consider bringing a professional inspector to your walk throughs.

The builders lender quoted a competitive interest rate before we signed the contract and then the rate was 1.5 points higher when we were ready to lock (3 days later). We told them we were backing out and somehow the rate came down a full point. Throughout the process the lender representatives spelled our names incorrectly (different ways each time) and sent emails with required information to the wrong email addresses. Thank goodness they somehow got our realtor's email address correct, or we would still be waiting to get information from them. While at closing, the lender called the title company and told them they couldn't give us our keys until we signed additional documents they just emailed to us while we were at the closing appointment. We didn't have time to read anything. We had to ask for paper copies of the documents 4 times from various people before finally being provided with them. There is no builder incentive great enough to make it worth it to go with this lender!! I suggest you use your own. We are in the process of refinancing only a few months after closing. Additionally, earlier on, we were told that we could not purchase a garage with the condo because it was too late.. then, all of a sudden late on a Friday afternoon, the builder called our realtor and told her that we could purchase a garage after all, but we had to commit by the end of that same day. We had hours to decide and get it all together. Our realtor worked with the builders agent late into the night to get everything settled and we paid top-dollar for the one car garage. Then, the builder refused to pay our realtor her commission for the garage portion of the purchase!! This was after they called her and worked with her to execute the sale. I did not feel that the builder treated us or our realtor with personal respect. Doing business with them felt like we were on the wrong side of an "I gotcha - hahaha" scenario. I will avoid doing business with this builder again. The great things about the community are the sales agents in the on-site office. They are smart, friendly and responsive!! Additionally the community superintendent and assistant are responsive and seem to genuinely care about the community and residents. The new HOA manager also seems to be good and responsive as well. Overall the place is nice - it was just a very bumpy road getting here. ... More

It took almost 4 months to get into my new home from the original close date. Not only this but we were made homeless for a full month over the holidays because of their complete lack of communication. And once we finally got into our new home, so many things needed to be fixed. Overall it was a very bad first home buying experience with Century, but am very happy to be in my new home

I do not have many good things to say about the experience with this builder. The entire process from start to finish was extremely stressful. I had to micro manage each piece of the process to ensure details were not missed, and an accurate job was done. Even after closing, I am experiencing issues with the title company under the Century Communities umbrella. From the beginning, it was difficult to get under contract with Century. Even after going under contract, there were numerous issues that came up even before excavation began. Those troubles, and other issues came up throughout the year that it took to complete the home. There were times were I, the homebuyer, had to take action with third parties to ensure construction continued. However, I am thankful to the managers who stepped in very late in the process to do what they could to remedy the situation. They were great to work with and I am appreciative of their help. Unfortunately for the Century brand, it was too little, too late and my experience was far too negative for their efforts to bring back to a positive. ... More

No customer service. Paid all that money for a new house and now have to deal with the warranty and they're not responding. Horrible experience and wouldn't fix issues when identified.
